I have another 10BP4 that doesn't give me as good a picture as this one. It displays the symptom as well.

I'll give this a shot, but I am still extremely green with scope interpretation.

If they're all good, injecting with your B&K point by point thru the video chain (attenuating as necessary) oughta spot the problem.

The coils are all good.
Unfortunately I don't 100% trust my B&K at the moment. I think it needs some servicing of it's own for a few reasons. It's quite a shame as this is precisely what it is good for. That will be my next project on the bench.

That 's what I thought also, but it ramps smooth as silk from 0 to 10k.
I think I'm going to go resistor hunting in my video section and see what I can find.
